print codes in vars.

[Richard D. Williams]

Is there anyway to place a print (ie. 12 point type, 16.6 condensed, 
bold on, bold off etc.) inside a variable.

I have tried this:
 b=chr("27"){chr("40"){chr("115"){chr("51"){chr("66"){""
c=chr("27"){chr("40"){chr("115"){chr("48"){chr("66"){""

xa="this date:"<b<done_date<c<"and this time:"<b<done_time<c{"."

when the form prints, I get

this date: 06/02/2004 and this time:

If I set the bold at the beginning of the l;ine and the bold-off at the 
end of the line I get:
xa=b&"this date:"<done_date<"and this time:"<done_time{"."<c

this date: 06/02/2004 and this time: 10:30am

Perhaps there is a better way, that works?

What would the string be to turn on 12 point type and turn on condense 
type (16.6/17)?

Thanks,

Richard D. Williams
